Our team at Pvolve strives to find ways to support members in their holistic health and wellness goals, which is why we created the Recover 9 supplement. As part of our commitment to proving the efficacy of our method and products, we’ve conducted a clinical study that evaluated the effectiveness of Recover 9 drink supplement, a proprietary blend of nine amino acids designed to speed functional recovery, reduce soreness, and build lean muscle in a low-calorie, vegan, and sugar-free formula.
Initial findings of the Recover 9 Study from the University of Exeter, a leading university in sports medicine and sports science research, show Recover 9 can help build lean muscle mass, improve metabolism, aid in weight loss, and foster better body composition. Recover 9 delivers the same efficacy as 20g of whey protein (long considered the gold standard for protein) without the caloric load or hard-to-tolerate ingredients such as dairy. Additionally, most whey-based protein supplements contain 100-150 calories per serving, whereas Pvolve’s Recover 9 powder has only 20 calories per serving.
The Study Methodology & Results
The Recover 9 Clinical Study was conducted by the University of Exeter, which recruited 28 women aged 20-40 who were considered recreationally active. Participants consumed either Recover 9 or 20g of whey protein after workouts and during early and late follicular phases of menstruation. Those who consumed 20g of whey protein showed similar results compared to the Recover 9 group, with no statistically significant differences in muscle protein synthesis between Recover 9 and whey protein observed. Participants were supervised for their in-person workout, and measurements were taken 0-4 hours post-workout.
While Recover 9 increased amino acid absorption by 148% and boosted muscle protein synthesis by 78% for women 0-2 hours post-workout, the Recover 9 Study also shed light on the recovery response specific to women through their cycle. During the follicular phase (the second and longest phase of the menstrual cycle), Recover 9 was shown to be even more potent. Recover 9 increased amino acid absorption by 377% during the early follicular phase and boosted muscle protein synthesis by 177% for women post-workout in the late follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, showing that Recover 9 amplified results during this timeframe. This novel finding suggests that women may benefit even more by taking Recover 9 during their follicular phase to support their overall program and results.
Researchers found participants who consumed Recover 9 saw results similar to those who consumed 20g of whey protein:
+148% Amino Acid Absorption vs. Baseline and + 377% vs. Baseline When Taken in Early Follicular Phase
+78% Muscle Protein Synthesis vs. Baseline and +177% vs. Baseline When Taken in Late Follicular Phase
Prioritizing Women’s Health Research
Our team continues to invest in clinical studies to ensure the efficacy of its products. Earlier this year, we released the initial findings of the Healthy Aging Study that researched the impact of exercise on pre- and post-menopausal women.
With the Recover 9 Study, Pvolve once again focused on women to see how the product responded to a woman’s changing hormones throughout her menstrual cycle. This is another step towards rebalancing the dramatic inequity in clinical research focusing on women. Between 2014-2022, only 6% of sports science studies have focused on women. Recover 9’s blend supports muscle recovery so people can return to their next workout sooner.
“I founded Pvolve because I felt like there was a gap in fitness offerings, especially for women, that were science-led. We invest in clinical research because we want to make sure that what we are doing is effective,” said Rachel Katzman, founder of Pvolve. "The significance of the Recover 9 Study lies in its emphasis on showcasing the outstanding results of our supplement product and measuring how the response evolves throughout a woman's cycle. This study marks another stride towards addressing the significant gap in clinical research that often overlooks women."
